Insider Quote: Technological Backwater

Yet here we are in 2008, and we’re still not allowed to use a Google search bar in the Internet Explorer browser on OpenNet. Not to mention the 20 to 30 plug-ins many professionals would like to use to enhance their Firefox browsing experience. We are also routinely blocked from viewing video newscasts, because the OpenNet bandwidth just won’t support it.
